LSU coach Ed Orgeron zings Ole Miss: ‘Whole time I was there I was wishing I were here’

Ed Orgeron has an interesting reflection when he looks back on his time at Ole Miss.

Speaking to ESPN’s Chris Low on Monday, the LSU coach delivered some hard truth when analyzing his tenure with the Rebels from 2005 to 2007. During his stint in Oxford, Orgeron went 10-25 and never won more than four games in a single season.

LSU’s Ed Orgeron told me the Ole Miss game is just another game “because the truth is the whole time I was there I was wishing I were here.”

But when you think about it, those words from Orgeron are fair. After all, LSU was a monster program during Orgeron’s years at Ole Miss. The Tigers grew into a national power, winning the national title in 2007. (For what it’s worth, Orgeron also told Low that he was thankful for the lessons he learned in Oxford. And you can’t fault someone for envisioning a dream job.)

Orgeron’s past and present will meet again this week. On Saturday, the Rebels host the Tigers. Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.
